Product Description

Featuring an all-star cast, eye-popping special effects, non-stop excitement, action and laughs, MONSTER IN THE CLOSET pays homage to many of the great films of the horror genre. If you liked Mel Brooks HIGH ANXIETY, you'll shriek with horror and humor at MONSTER IN THE CLOSET. San Francisco is the scene of a series of bizarre murders and all the murders have taken place in the victims' closets. A local newspaper editor (Jesse White) sends his obituary writer Richard (Donald Grant) to follow up on what he believes is a routine story; meanwhile, the murders continue. A lovely couple (Paul Dooley and Stella Stevens) as well as a blind man (John Carradine) fall victim to the MONSTER IN THE CLOSET. When the monster finally decides to come out of the closet, the President declares a national emergency and sends the army, commanded by General Thurnbull (Donald Moffat) to destory it. Scary, hilarious, madcap and totally unpredictable. Monster in the Closet also two young performers who would go on to become major stars: Paul Walker (The Fast and the Furious) and Stacy Ferguson (Fergie from the musical sensation Black Eyed Peas).

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick! Grab The Xylophone And The Kazoo!
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2004

This rare film, made with lots of personal sacrifice from the cast and crew, is well worth the effort to seek out. "Monster In The Closet" is a satire of formulaic monster movies, and is done with great wit and charm on a low budget. The story concerns a mysterious set of serial murders in which all victims are killed in their closets. Early victims include the horror movie institution, John Carradine, this time as a cranky blind man who gets eaten.
A spittoon-toting Sheriff (Claude Akins) tries to defeat the monster while ignoring scientific counsel from scientists Denise Dubarry and Henry Gibson. Gibson is particularly entertaining as a half-baked forgetful professor who thinks he can communicate with the creature via a xylophone (he can, as it turns out, not that it does him any good), and is forever prattling on about a frog he once found. The male lead is Donald Grant, who does a great job as the naive 'Pretty Boy' reporter sent to cover the story as harassment by veteran reporter "Scoop" played by Frank Ashmore. I have never been as pleased in a movie as when Grant stands up to Ashmore.
When the creature finally does show up it is a gross looking kind of excrement monster with a second sub-head in a spoof of "Alien", which actually can be communicated with. In the end not only does Gibson get to chat with the creature via the xylophone, but Grant gets to chat via kazoo, as well. The Army seems powerless to do anything, a romance subplot flourishes, and we get to what would seem to be the climactic scene of the film. There is a great twist in the last 15 minutes, which I did not see coming, and probably most other people won't either. Suffice it to say, it is silly, involves a lot of property mutilation that I would not want to explain to my Homeowner's policy issuer, love, self-sacrifice (sort of), and hope springing eternal. (And ultimately a lot of expensive remodeling.)
The film is a great, cheesy, fun movie to watch (best with friends) and I highly recommend it. Troma distributes it, but did not produce it, so it is not typical Troma fare. It is not particularly violent (except the scenes of violent closet disruption and some Army efforts at the grade school) or gory (well, OK, the monster mouth is pretty nasty), has little objectionable except one fairly gratuitous scene of Stella Stevens in an excellent "Psycho" parody, and is just plain fun.
Watch a great low budget movie and see why B Movies can be so much fun. Grab "Monster In The Closet" today!

I'm giving this 3 stars because for some strange reason I watched all of it so I guess it's not the worst movie ever but it's close. No gore- which goes a long way for me. Super stupid though, lol.

My fiancé and I were bored with gaming and we wanted something else to do. So we tried a few movies, and only lasted about 5 minutes. We swore to give this one at LEAST 20. So we did. And while it was super cringe and terrible in many ways, it was extremely entertaining and unusually funny. Please watch this and give it a chance. You won't regret the weirdness and uniqueness of this movie. We couldn't believe it hahaha

This is an entertaining movie. I'm glad I bought it. I do wish it had a little bit better resolution instead of VHS quality, but overall I like it. The part with Stella Steven's character was a hoot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twas Beauty that Killed the Beast
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2011

I grew up watching all those fifties SCI-FI flicks that this movie handily lampooned. (THEM! is one of my all time favorite monster movies.)
Every aspect of those cheesy movies was faithfully rendered in this low budget homage. They had me roped and tied from the start with a blind John Carradine trying to get his Seeing Eye dog to respond. The cast in general was great: Claude Akins spitting everywhere, Howard Duff with a really big cross and a very strange eulogy, Henry Gibson and his weird fascination with frogs, but especially Donald Moffat as the obligatory commander of the army (his best line, "I don't give a monkey's fart!").
I loved this movie. There wasn't a false note, start to finish. I couldn't stop smiling. It reinforced all the reasons I loved (and still love) those crazy monster movies from the fifties.
As for someone not familar with movies like Tarantula, The Deadly Mantis, or Monster on the Campus, I don't know how you'd respond to a movie like this.
Love them or hate them, they are what they are and if you "get" them, you'll get this.
Oh come on, IT WAS FUNNY!

Ich weiß nicht warum, aber ich find ihn immer wieder Klasse.
Er ist nicht so schlecht, wie "Plan 9" und hat darum vielleicht weniger Kultstatus, aber er erfüllt seinen Unterhaltunswert immer wieder.
Trashiger Spaß, für alle die Horror nicht zu ernst nehmen!
